'Bucket of Flowers' Scheme

Afternoon,

Today is one of those dank, dark, misty, murky days that seem to be a regular feature of the Welsh/British weather in February.  So, I've been sat here sorting through the mountain of seeds that need sowing, putting them in order of sowing date and then pulling to one side the seeds that need a slightly higher temperature in order to germinate.  All the while dreaming and longing for April and May to come so that there are flowers galore on the plot once again.

This year we've gone all out on green.  Green flowers were really popular with our customers last year.  So this year we'll be growing even more such as; Nicotiana - Lime Green, Zinnia - Green Envy, Zinnia Giant Lime Ball, and Chrysanthemum - Green Mist, to name but a few.

We've also decided that this year we will run a 'bucket of flowers' scheme for people living in the Brecon area.  It will be just like a veg box scheme but with flowers!

Every fortnight, we will deliver buckets of flowers to various drop off points in the local area.  Customers who can't make it to the market stall/s can pick their flowers up from one of the pick up/drop off points and still have fresh seasonal flowers in their home from April to Novemeber for £8.50 a bucket.  If you're interested in joining our 'bucket of flowers' scheme then please send an email to blooms@breconblooms.com and we'll send further details to you. 

And for those of you who live/drive close to the flower plots we'll still have flowers for sale straight from the plots and on the bridge by 'Bloomers HQ.' 

That's it for today folks.  Let's hope the weather brightens up by the end of the week.
